MEL BAY 20704 Understanding Ukulele Chords By ROBBERT VAN RENESSE & Ships FREE

Description: MEL BAY 20704 Understanding Ukulele Chords By ROBBERT VAN RENESSE This book is intended for ukulele players who had some experience with their instruments, but would like to increase their musical ability, as well as for guitarists who like to improve their accompaniment skills on the treble strings of the guitar. There exist many excellent introductory ukulele methods, as well as extensive chord dictionaries. Instead, this book is intended for those players who wish to be able to sight read from a fake book, figure out the chords to a song without a chart, create accompaniments to their own songs, create chord solos, extend their chord vocabulary, or further their understanding of harmony.

I'm interested in distributed systems, particularly in their fault tolerance and scalability aspects. I'm chair of ACM SIGOPS. I'm associate editor for ACM Computing Surveys. I also play jazz guitar and do sound for the Ageless Jazz Band, play traditional jazz banjo in The JazzHappensBand, am co-founder of and advisor to The Cornell Dutch Club, The Cornell Ukulele Club, and co-founder of The Finger Lakes One Wheelers, a unicycling club. I'm also the designer and webmaster of GigKeeper.com, a site that helps with the management side of playing in bands.” “Guitar/Ukulele/Banjo/Lap Steel I've been playing guitar since about 1987. I've been playing rhythm guitar for the Ageless Jazz Band since December 1997. We play many weddings and festivals, and recorded two CDs. I also play banjo with the JazzHappensBand and we recorded a CD as well. I've played in the pit orchestra of high school productions of The Wiz, Annie, Kiss me Kate, Big, Oklahoma, Bye Bye Birdie, Hello Dolly, Seussical, Pippin, and for a SUNY Cortland production of "Little Shop of Horrors" (October 1999), an Ithaca College production of "Chicago - The Musical" (October 2010), and a Ti-Ahwaga Community Players production of "Avenue Q" (June 2013). I play guitar, ukulele, tenor banjo, plectrum banjo, tenor guitar, mandolin, and lap steel guitar. I'm not terribly good at any of these, but it's my primary hobby and I like doing it. I wrote a book on what is essentially music theory for the ukulele, and this book called "Understanding Ukulele Chords" is published by Mel Bay. I taught a workshop at the 2004 Ukulele Hall of Fame Museum Expo, and run regular ukulele jams in Ithaca. “ NOTE – This book is thin and light so it will be shipped by Media Mail in a 10x13 envelope to save on costs.
